In sonnet 58, line 9, the narrator says that the control over him by the lover is very strong, however he doesn’t seem to make any effort to resist these temptations and exertions of power, but rather resigns to them and accepts them as part of his life.

    follows her still to find her with her lover is ironic. The imagery depicts a poor citizen’s shack with minimal furniture and luxury, yet the wife treats the black man as if he was a king. The king saw the hut that was “built with palm leaves, leading to a domed structure built with sun-dried bricks” (57).

    the blood thirsty tiger. In the short story “The lady or the tiger” by Frank Stockton, a man’s fate was tested. The princess doesn't want her lover to be with the woman that she hates.
